Join Scott Yoo and the artists for a "museum docent's tour" of Richard Strauss's sonata for cello and piano during this one-hour event. He and the musicians will discuss the piece's history, the composer's influences and musical styles, and perform some selections. These are amazing opportunities to learn a little more about this great music before you attend the concerts.

As an extra special treat, you'll be sitting on the stage with the performers at the Harold J. Miossi CPAC to get up close and personal with this amazing musical work.

Please note that the musicians may not perform the piece in its entirety.
